Description 8D Full View plz! Kthnx~

I saw this contest thing goin' on, and I hadn't entered a contest in a while, so I thought, well what the hey? This'll be fun and a nice break~

Although... I feel bad because I could've thought about it first. *shot*

SO

TanCat is a in short, a ghost. He chooses whom gets to see him, and floats around between the land of the living and of the dead. Sometimes he helps the dead become at peace with themselves to pass on into the afterlife.

However, whenever he loses his hat, whomever discovers and returns it willingly, TanCat will accompany said generosity with a single request. After that, he returns to his traveling days .

~End.

... I don't care if I win or not, this was just fun to do. Plus it's been a while since I added highlights to a character (for a while all I did was just shading )

I liked how those mountain-like things turned out. X]

Enjoy~

Photoshop 7.0 + Intuos 3
Roughly 5 & 1/2 hours + distractions

"Zounds! A finely-attired gentleman tanuki who has shuffled off this mortal coil! Oh--my heart does pang sympathetically for this poor -post-creature!"

(hey, your avvie is Fuzzy Wuzzy now...)

His nondescriptness makes him very cute and cuddly. He has little stubby paws instead of anthro'ed hands with dexterious digits; his ears are softened cones and not fuzzy auditory receptors with pink interiors; his face is round and smooth and not pointed with furry extensions. You have clearly established your skills depicting "toony" characters that are neither anthro or specifically SA style!

The glowy aura provides evidence for his ectoplasmic existence. And the billowy folds in his robe with alternating light and dark blue colorations are great details. The "mushy blankets" you have in the background are overshadowed by this bright, Casper-like creature. Well done

Those "mushy blankets" were an attempt at mountains... but for some reason kept them transparent (probably just got lazy).

But I can pull the non-anthro or SA sometimes (when I want to XD)

Thanks Mattman!

Yeah, I know they were supposed to be mountains; I was just messing with you! (It's true, cuz that's why I put quotes around them and added that right after it)

*was a distraction*

You did a great job on the lighting. I think the colors are really smooth. My two favorite things are the mouth (with cheeks) and his eyes.
